Vibrant 4D Tech Sneakers

adidas Showcases Its Brand New ZX 4000 4D Sneaker Silhouette

— July 20, 2018 — Fashion
Sportswear label adidas debuted its newest ZX 4000 4D sneaker model for the Fall/Winter 2018 season. The latest silhouette delivers 4D technology, infusing it into its beige-toned midsoles and its dark outsoles. This allows the footwear to be lightweight and deliver ultimate comfort for long-time wear. The uppers boast a weaving detail in contrast to its 4D incorporated soles. It is finished in a neutral cream hue and pops with blue accents on top of a gray-hued suede panel system.

Additional details include dark stitching alongside black accents throughout the piece. The lacing systems are finished in a pale yellow tone to complement the yellow three stripes branding found on the midfoot section. The new ZX 4000 4D sneakers will be hitting the market later this year in November.
